How many light years does it take to get to Jupiter from Earth?
It wouldn’t take you even one light-year to reach Jupiter. In fact, if you were traveling at the speed of light from Earth towards Jupiter, you would reach the gas giant in around 43 light minutes.
How long does it take for light from the sun to reach Saturn?
1.418 hours
Saturn orbits the sun at a distance of 1.532 billion kilometer and the light travels at a speed of $3times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}$. Dividing the two quantities as speed is equal to distance divided by time. Therefore, light approximately takes 1.418 hours or 85.08 minutes to reach Saturn.
How much sunlight does Jupiter get?
The distance from Jupiter to the Sun is about 4.95 to 5.46 AU (Astronomical Unit, the distance of Earth to Sun). So the intensity of sunlight at Jupiter is about 1/25 of the intensity at Earth. This light intensity is much more than neccessary to be seen in color by the naked eye enclosed in a space suit.
How long does it take for light from the sun to reach the planets?
The sun’s light takes about 8.3 minutes to reach the Earth after it has been emitted from the sun’s surface. The time it takes for light to reach planets in our Solar System (not the Milky Way, which is our galaxy) varies from about 3 minutes for Mercury, to about 4.15 hours for Neptune.
How many years away is Mars?
On average, the distance between Earth and Mars is 140 million miles, according to Nasa. If you were to reach Mars based on the current speeds of spaceships, it would take roughly nine months, according to the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Centre’s website.
How long is flight to the moon?
about 3 days
It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.
